Description of Related Art

A comforter is a common bed covering that is typically used in conjunction with bed sheets for a user's comfortable relaxation. The bed comforter usually is large enough to fit over and lap over the edge of a mattress. This design provides a complete covering for the user of the comforter. Although comforters are primarily used on bed mattresses comforters are sometimes used for covering in other situations. When used on a bed mattress a user may occasionally open a side or fold over one side of the comforter to allow the extension of their leg or limb for cooling purposes or otherwise. The present comforters are usually designed to extend over the edge of the mattress. It is necessary that the user apply this technique to allow the extension of a leg while sleeping or resting under the comforter. It is the object of the present invention to provide a comforter that includes outlets or openings that permit the extension of a user's foot and/or leg outside of a comforter.

The present invention relates to a comforter with leg outlets that include: a first top opening at a foot end of the comforter; and a second top opening, where the second top opening is adjacent to the first top opening at the foot end of the comforter. The first opening and second opening are preferably elongated. A second embodiment of the comforter includes a first side opening on a first side of the comforter; and a second side opening on a second side of the comforter.
